Dayton, OH – U.S. Marshal Cathy Jones
announces the arrest of David Conrad Buelow , a sex offender from Dayton, Ohio
who was wanted on outstanding warrants for federal violations of the Adam Walsh
Act.

Buelow, age 62, was being sought on a warrant issued
by the Federal Court in San Diego for a violation of the Adam Walsh Act after he
fled Dayton, Ohio area in violation of his state sex offender registration
requirements . He was also wanted for local charges of failure to register and
for violating his probation. Buelow was on the Sex Offender Registry because of
a 1987 conviction for rape and subsequent violations of his sex offender
registration requirements.

Investigators with the U.S. Marshals Service
determined that Buelow and a woman believed to be his wife had fled to the San
Diego, California area and had not registered there as required by both state
laws. Information developed in Dayton was sent to investigators in California
who immediately filed for a warrant charging Buelow with violating the Adam
Walsh Act, a violation which could lead to up to 10 years in prison.

On March 25, 2011, a car registered to the female
accompanying Buelow was located in Santee, California. A team of Deputy US
Marshals was dispatched and the residence was placed under surveillance. In the
early afternoon a man matching the description of the 6’ 5” Buelow was observed
standing outside of the residence smoking a cigarette. A short time later Buelow
and a female were observed getting in to the car. The surveillance team assisted
by local police officers stopped the vehicle and Buelow was taken in to federal
custody. The female was transported to a local hospital.

Buelow will be in the San Diego jail pending a
hearing in front of a federal magistrate. He could then be extradited back to
Ohio to answer the local charges filed against him by the Montgomery County
Probation Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

“Information learned in Dayton, Ohio revealed that
Buelow has no intention of following the law, has failed to follow it in the
past and is a dangerous person to have on the street “ said William Taylor,
Senior Inspector with the Dayton area US Marshals. “He is exactly where he
belongs.”
